Ali Abbas Awaits VSD Closure Surgery
Syed Ali Abbas's Story
Syed Ali Abbas, a 5-year-old innocent boy from Hafizabad, has been suffering from shortness of breath and chest discomfort since birth. Simple activities like playing and running make him breathless and fatigued. Ali is not growing properly and his parents are heartbroken to see him suffering from this condition. They took him to a nearby hospital and consulted a doctor, who conducted some lab tests and diagnosed Ali with moderate Peri-Membranous Restricted VSD – a heart defect located in the outflow tract of the left ventricle near the aortic valve and Left Ventricular Volume Overload (LVVO). To repair the defects in his heart, the doctor advised VSD closure surgery. However, the cost of the surgery was beyond his family’s financial means.
The doctors confirmed their worst fears: If Ali’s condition is left untreated, his condition may get worse. It may lead to heart failure or even cause death. His parents wish to see him healthy and spend a normal life like other kids of his age.
Ali lives in a modest rented house with his parents and two siblings. His mother is a housewife and his siblings are young and studying. His father, the sole breadwinner in the family, works as an electrician and earns just PKR 15000 per month. This income is sufficient to cover even the household bills, educational expenses as well the cost of groceries. Affording to pay for surgery is significantly challenging for them. During this difficult time, Ali’s family reached out to Transparent Hands and asked us for assistance.
Ali’s parents expressed their plea as follows:
“Our son’s life is at risk and we can’t help him. We are waiting for the day when he can have a chance to live a normal life. Without surgery, his future feels uncertain. We request you to please support our child.”
Ali desperately needs this surgery but his parents are unable to help him. We urge you to come forward and give new hope and healing to this innocent child.
This surgery will be a turning point in his life. Join hands with us to save Ali’s life.

Syed Ali Abbas's Story
Syed Ali Abbas, a 5-year-old boy from Hafizabad, had been suffering from breathlessness and chest discomfort since birth. Activities like walking a short distance or playing with his friends made him breathless. Worried about his condition, his parents took him to a local hospital and consulted a doctor. After performing a thorough examination, the doctor diagnosed Ali with moderate Peri-Membranous Restricted VSD and Left Ventricular Volume Overload (LVVO). To correct the defects in his heart, the doctor strongly recommended VSD closure surgery. However, the cost of the surgery was overwhelming for his family.
Ali lived in a modest rented house with his parents and two school-going siblings. His father, the sole breadwinner in the family, worked as an electrician and made just PKR 15,000 per month. With this meager monthly income, it was hard for him to cover utility bills in addition to managing grocery expenses and children’s school fees. Ali’s condition was worsening day by day, but they had no choice but to feel helpless. Their financial constraints didn’t allow them to pay for Ali’s life-saving surgery. During this difficult time, Ali’s parents contacted Transparent Hands and asked for help. Recognizing the gravity of his situation, we registered his case.
On January 26, 2025, Ali Abbas was admitted to the University of Lahore Teaching Hospital. Dr. Salman performed his surgery with care and corrected the defects in his heart. Ali’s surgery went smoothly and after receiving post-operative care, he was discharged in a satisfactory condition on February 01, 2025.
Ali’s parents said in happiness:
“We never imagined that our son would ever get the surgery. But your support made it possible. Our son can now have a life where he no longer needs to live in constant discomfort and breathlessness. He can now enjoy his childhood like other kids. We are immensely grateful to you for this life-changing gift.”
Ali is now recovering, and his quality of life has significantly improved. His heart condition has been treated, allowing him to embrace a healthier and happier future. His family extends their heartfelt gratitude to you for making this possible. Your kindness has given Ali a new lease on life.
